Solar Coronagraphs
Abstract
A solar coronagraph enables study of the Sun's tenuous outer atmosphere -- the corona -- by occulting the brilliant solar disk. We describe scientific objectives of solar coronagraphy; measurement requirements that follow from those objectives; instrument design principles to effectuate the required measurements; and some aspects of the practical implementation of these principles in space- and ground-based instruments.
